UAE announces new petrol prices for May 2026 as fuel rates rise across grades - 89.1 Radio 4 FM

The UAE Fuel Price Committee has announced updated petrol and diesel prices for May 2026, with new rates taking effect from May 1. The revision reflects ongoing shifts in global oil markets and will impact motorists across the country.

Under the new pricing structure, Super 98 petrol will cost 3.66 dirhams per litre, up from 3.39 dirhams in April. Special 95 has been set at 3.55 dirhams per litre compared to 3.28 last month, while E Plus will now be priced at 3.48 dirhams per litre, rising from 3.20 dirhams. Diesel prices, however, remain unchanged for the month.

Officials said the monthly adjustment is part of the UAE’s standard fuel pricing mechanism, which aligns domestic rates with international oil trends while ensuring transparency in the market.

With fuel costs being a key factor in transport and logistics planning, the announcement is expected to be closely tracked by residents and businesses alike. The news also continues to be widely discussed across media platforms, including FM radio advertising UAE channels and major radio media brands UAE that regularly update audiences on economic developments alongside entertainment and travel information.
